Unfortunately, we only had enough leather left for 6 pairs of the Service Boots to be made. That being said we can stretch a pair a half size for you if you know your size. Just let us know ahead of time or put it in the notes of your order during checkout.

Today at 1pm we will be releasing an 8" Engineer and a Service Boot both in Black Horsehide. The leather is from Shinki tannery in Japan and both boots feature full Cat's Paw soles. The Engineers have roller buckles also from Japan. We went to pretty great lengths sourcing the components for these two boots and i'm really happy with how they turned out.

Whoever snapped up the size 10 Service Boot right away -- you saved me from temptation!

A question for Guy, just out of curiosity: The edges of the horsehide on these are not natural, as HH seems usually to be. Have they been died black? Or is that just the nature of this particular HH?

Good eye! The Shinki Horse is dyed all the way through. Well not quite, as you will notice an almost grey core on certain places, but it's pretty close to solid. It's tough to capture in photos, but this is really, really nice leather.

Just wanted you guys to know that I am extending the deadline for the order of the MTO Styleforum boots, both the loden green service boot, and the tan bison scout boot, to December 15. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a medical emergency, and have not been able to fulfill requests the past week. If you wish to preorder, please feel free to do so here (I think that we have 2 great makeups that are entirely different, and that are both reallt special and will be something special for you guys):

Shinki is the shit, and those engineers are pretty much as good as they come (tho I'd take an extra inch on the instep strap and no pull loops ). Soft toe, I presume?Edited by b-ewing - 12/2/13 at 7:38pm
